Establishment of Cybozu Labs, Inc. in August 2005
Cybozu, Inc. (hereafter, Cybozu) (headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Mr. Yoshihisa Aono) established Cybozu Labs, Inc. (hereafter, Cybozu Labs) as a specialist research and development subsidiary in August 2005. Cybozu Labs pursues new technologies in its role as a research laboratory for Cybozu, providing software that promotes information sharing around the world.
To date, Cybozu has developed and released a variety of easy-to-use business software applications. In order to realize these, the company has had to develop a variety of superior technologies, including CyDE2*, a development framework. To concentrate on growth on a worldwide scale in the future, Cybozu established Cybozu Labs to specialize in research and development activities. At Cybozu Labs, we pursue new technologies with a mid- to long-term goal of developing software that promotes information sharing. In addition, Cybozu Labs aims to develop software that will become the world standard, as well as provide Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) on a global scale under certain delivery conditions.
In August 2005, Mr. Hata, who was in charge of developing the company’s leading products Cybozu Office and Cybozu Garoon (and the chief technology officer for Cybozu at the time), was appointed as CEO of Cybozu Labs. In addition, the staff involved in the development of CyDE2* were also appointed to Cybozu Labs. We actively recruit technical experts from all over Japan in the hope of further strengthening our personnel base.
* CyDE2 is a framework (application platform) designed by Cybozu that took more than two years to complete. CyDE2 was developed in combination with MySQL database engine, PHP script engine, and original extension libraries. Cybozu Garoon2 portal groupware was released in June 2005, and adopts the CyDE2 framework.
